We know Android XR will have a presence at Google I/O next week but it's not clear if Google's take on VR will get a mention during the Android Show today. It's felt pretty quiet since the Galaxy XR headset launched last October. Though with Apple reportedly dropping the Vision Pro, perhaps headsets have become less of a priority.We're also still waiting for more information on the Xreal Project Aura display glasses.
